title: Paramagnetic gold nanostructures for dual modal bioimaging and phototherapy of cancer cells.
abstract: Paramagnetic gold nanostructures were synthesized by combining the paramagnetism of gadolinium with the plasmonic properties of gold nanoparticles and used for dual modal (MRI and optical) imaging and phototherapy of breast cancer cells.
